This Daquiri is amazing!

[@scottnieradka6836]

the grenade was named after the pomegranate, not the reverse. Pomegranates are obviously older, and early french grenades looked like pomegranates.

[@TheWeePearl]

Pouring Ribbons was the best. I used to work across the street from there way back when. This is a great simple but refined daq. I love clever cocktail names too. I find the hardest part of creating cocktails is coming up with the names.

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Me too. It takes me forever to think of them :)

[@TainakaRicchan]

"Pomegranate" also means "Granade Apple": Pomme is apple in french and "granate" while being the literal german word for "grenade" is stil pretty close to "grenade". This all comes from the latin term "Mālum Granatum" for them. Literally "Seed apples" This is also where the wxplosive devices galled "grenades" take their name from: they started out as sacks filed with explosive "kernels" and looked like a Pomegrante, and where simelartly fiilled with lots of kernels.

[@hellospringlake]

Well, to be more technical, "Pomme" used to be a generic word for all fruit before coming to mean specifically apples. So alot of older French references will say Pomme without meaning apple at all.

[@djweso]

I learned about the grenade/pomegranate connection when I first learned about Grenadine years ago. I loved the footage at the end of this video watching him clean up.

[@boozeontherocks]

You had me at the explosion and everything else was icing on the cake. loved it!!

[@robindurbin4104]

Beautiful cocktail! I will give this one a try tonight. Thanks for the video!

[@klg223kim6]

Hearing you read one of these comments has become my new favorite thing.

[@matthaught4707]

As I understand it, the name for grenade came from its resemblance to pomegranates, not the other way around. People have been eating pomegranates for millennia, but hand grenades are a fairly recent invention, and the oldest would basically be iron or bronze jars packed with black powder and bits of stuff to act as fragments. I could easily see people looking at the shape and overall structure and comparing them to a pomegranate.

[@TheWhiskeyNerd]

Daiquiris have become my "Old Fashioned" this summer, simple to make, and a simple variation can give you a totally different cocktail! Now I just need to find pomegranate molasses...

[@treykullman]

Not sure if you’ve got a Whole Foods nearby, but that’s where I tracked my bottle down.

[@johnbogusz8090]

Sounds great and I'll definitely try this. Now I finally have a use for my pomegranate molasses, which I bought to make grenadine but forgot about. Available rums are Plsntation 3*, Probitas, and Scarlet Ibis.

[@owenw1002]

Seriously a delicious cocktail, im bias because i love every single ingredient in there, but man, is that a good drink.

[@miksologia]

Just made this one and you just can't beat the flavors in fresh raspberries. Really works great with the Bacardi.

So darn good 👍

[@carlogolf5834]

All the good choo choo in one drink👌🏻

[@propwash6880]

Can't get enough daiquiri recipes. Thanks!

[@Johnny_Shikari]

In German pomegranate is really called "Granatapfel" too which means grenade apple like Marius pointed out^^. And it's of course the same thing in french where the name pomegranate comes from. Pommes is the french word for apples

[@ctwiggs]

Awesome! I’m always in for a daiquiri!

[@esoteric3655]

Making this tomorrow night!

[@esoteric3655]

Made it and it was brilliant. Thank you.

[@SanTM]

Drink looks delicious btw

[@tomassanchez376]

Yes in Spanish we occasionally say "es la bomba"

[@jurgenandrag3181]

Early hand grenades were developed by the French, it was made of glass with musket balls packed around gunpowder and when exploded it resembled a ripe pomegranate discharging its seeds. Shrapnel was named for a British military engineer who,during the Nepoleonic wars, packed musket balls into a mortar shell.

[@DimitriWithLemon]

Tried this a couple weeks ago and it was fantastic :D! I did make it again and accidentally put a bit of a heap of pomegranate molasses, and it gave it too much of a weird saltiness? Not sure why. But yea, love it, but im going to make sure that i do a nice flat tsp of molasses

[@KabalBr1]

In Brazil we do use "Bombando", that is like a verb made of "Bomba" that literally means bomb. It is used to describe something cool.

[@bigzosso]

Cool, making this one soon. Lest we forget also, what is Grenadine made from? Yep, pomegranates.

[@danielgalil5020]

Sounds delicious. Speaking of rum, there's a drink I've learnt from Imbibe by David Wondrich called the American Farmer. It's basically an applejack old fashioned with a splash of Smith and Cross.

[@maximilianmetzner2065]

That sounds amazing! Coincidentally I have an unused bottle of pomergrenate molasses from when I last made Grenadine 😋

[@UnclePete]

I never use the pomegranate molasses except for grenadine either. I have a bottle that has been sitting in there for a while...time to pull it our maybe

[@zeroanima]

Here in Costa Rica it's called Granada Real (royal grenade)

[@MrMoney331]

Mind blown, and the drink sounds freaking great! Make a run for the Molasses!

[@treykullman]

Spectacular cocktail. Would it taste better when there’s not snow on the ground in Louisville? Maybe. Is it gonna stop me? Absolutely not. Cheers!

[@jsalmons84]

How does pomegranate molasses compare to homemade grenadine? Would this substitution work?

[@gregsoucie]

Definitely making this real soon. Need raspberries and I'm good to go. Would a Wray and Nephew white rum work in this? I'm out of Bacardi white. Don't really love it.

[@MotleyStew]

Watched to the end and then I was like “Ahh, now I understand the inside joke with the ‘Where’s the little one?’ 😆🤦🏻👌🏽💯” Speaking of Bombing. 😝

[@statix6979]

Wow

[@dalt2175]

Can you do the Subourbonite from Barrio in Chicago?

[@jpcampbell]

Bomba not Bamba. La bamba is a Richie Valens song. But yea, I lived in Santo Domingo. When something was amazing we say “bomba!”

[@AlexOsborne10]

May I know if I can replace the pomegranate molasses with grenadine syrup?

[@emilethrash2670]

Whooo wasn't expecting the Nancy editing.

[@tobygreen6010]

Could you use grenadine instead of the current mix? Especially if your grenadine is made from pomegranate molasses (i.e. your recipe).

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Yes you could. Texture will change but I’m sure it’ll work fine

[@captainawasome8985]

Grenadine recipe for us who can't find it in the store. Ingredients: 2 pomegranate fruits, 1 lemon, 2 dl sugar (6 oz). Open the pomegranates under water (to prevent it from squirting juice on clothes). Sort out the seeds and blend them with a hand mixer in a tall glass. Strain out the juice in a saucepan. Add lemonpeels from the lemon to the juice in the saucepan. Add sugar to the saucepan. Boil it for 15-20 minutes on low heat. Remove the lemon peels from the syrup while still hot. Press the juice out of the lemon and add it to the pomegranate syrup when it is chilled down to room temperature. Done!

[@Nickropolis]

"Borrowed from French grenade, from Old French grenate in the phrase pomme grenate (“pomegranate”), ultimately from Medieval Latin pomum (“apple”) + granatum (“having grains”). The -d developed in French under influence of Spanish granada." A pomegranate is an apple with grains ie. shrapnel.

[@joshuasasmor6565]

Sailor ink makes a deep pomegranate red called "Sailor Jentle Grenade" also (yes that’s the right weird spelling).

[@psatyapurohit]

The word grenade also comes directly from grenade ie pomegranate cause they looked alike.

[@Greedman456]

Could you go grenadine instead of the molasses+syrup? or would it be completely unbalanced?

[@markolson1552]

Thinking that myself, particularly homemade grenadine from reduced pomegranate juice and sugar.... Commenting for the replies....

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Grenadine would work totally fine but lack the mouthfeel but that’s up to you

[@kevinarnold2964]

Looks delicious! Quick question…is there a preference for Bacardi over Havana Club or will it not make a difference? Thanks!

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Havana Club, the Cuban one is great. But Bacardi is good too. Whichever rum you prefer really. If you have access to the Cuban Havana Club, you can't really go wrong.

[@CocktailsUnderQuarantine]

Love the opener with the snarky viewer comments. Too funny.

[@Javic167]

In German it's Granatapfel (Granate [granade in German] + Apfel [apple])

[@rbalbontin]

Nice round spoon, it's an antique or we can get it somewhere?

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

yes, it's from Barfly Mixology Gear. Check our www.amazon.com/shop/theeducatedbarfly

[@juantraine2869]

Seems tasty! In Argentina, at least, we don't use "la bomba" to describe something cool. But we do use the term "pasarla bomba", which means having a great time

[@maximilianmetzner2065]

The whole "granate-apple" thing is not because of the shrapnel look by the way. It's because, when pomergrenates are super ripe and they fall down from their trees, they kind of explode on impact. That's how they spread their seeds I guess.

[@j.p.thearmoredchef]

And once again you send me to the store lol. Did you use a 100% pomegranate version?

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Yessir. There’s a link for it in the video description

[@gotmilk1061]

also in Hebrew the word for pomegranate and grenade are the same!

[@gotmilk1061]

I'm pretty sure the grenade is named after the pomegranate!

[@alesfont]

Lmao I LOVE the mind blown moments

Question: Isn't Grenadine just pomegranate syrup?

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Yes it is

[@bob___]

On the names "pomegranate" and "grenade," I think 19th century European hand grenades were shaped like pomegranates.

[@byVeriuxIIBW]

In german you also say granatapfel

[@DatsWhatHeSaid]

= "grenade apple"

[@frostbite4954]

Granaatappel in dutch.

[@bob12qwaszxerdfcv]

Pomegranate molasses + simple syrup = basically grenadine, no? This this any different than rum + grenadine + lime?

[@TheEducatedBarfly]

Pomegranate Molasses is much more concentrated in flavor than juice so yea but like super grenadine

[@NitroCerber]

Those SFX doe...

[@gilojager7425]

in german its literally grenade apple! xD

[@gilojager7425]

hm, i was too early^^

[@rocnathan]

Whaddaya know, there still new recipes that don't require 75 ingeredients including powdered unicorn horn or dodo eggwhite. Any daiquiri variation is worth trying out at least once.

[@thomasbernat1116]

In french "pomegranate" is just "grenade" yeah, and for some reason grenadine syrup in France is not pomegranate syrup, it's a blend a various berries, vanilla and citric acid Which is okay, but't it's literaly something else, so most (if not all) of the time when bars in France make classis american cocktail that calls for grandine, they're kinda inacurate It's not good or bad I gess, I just think it's interesting to point it out !

[@billymilligan]

Looks like the name is derived from latin meaning seeded apple. The name of the explosive, grenade, is derived from the fruit. So the bomb in named after the fruit, NOT the fruit named after the bomb. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomegranate#Etymology.

[@peterjuncker8488]

I don't think muddling is really needed if you're gonna shake the raspberries.

[@genghisgalahad8465]

It’s Da 💣 Bomb! I’m officially renaming this Da-quiri into “Da Bomb” to highlight its playfulness unless you have a chaser drink called “The Long Island SWAT tea” or “Da Bomb Squad” ....oh, La Bamba! I get it now! How about potato-masher vodka? Is grenadine named after..? Pineapple 🍍 grenade....

[@edgarjuss5365]

Fun fact, even in russian pomegranate is called "гранат" ("granat"). And in estonian it's "Granaatõun" (translated as "Granade Apple") So yeah, let the conspiracy grow

@@TheEducatedBarfly "La Bamba" is the Ritchie Valens song. "Bomba" is pronounced in Spanish with a hard O (bohmbah) and it literally means "bomb". It got confusing because you were pronouncing it "Bamba" throughout the whole video
